“From April 2018 Landlords cannot rent or advertise a property that is below an E rating. Landlords with homes below BAND E energy use rating, will have to carry out improvements to increase the rating by law.”

An EPC contains:

information about a property’s energy use and typical energy costs

recommendations on reducing energy use to save money

information on improving the property under the Green Deal

An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years.

The survey is actually quite in depth and looks at various aspects of the building including:

Build type

Heating types

Boiler model if applicable

Heat loss perimeters and volumes

Party wall types

Loft insulation

Other insulation present

Different construction zones

Fuel types

Window types and more…

PENALTIES FOR NOT OBTAINING AN EPC

The penalty charge specified where the building is a dwelling is £200.00.

Local authorities choose body responsible for enforcement: Usually Building Control (for new build) and Trading Standards (for existing buildings).

Enforcement agencies have the power to ask to see an EPC, and to issue a repeatable fine if the certificate is not in place.

Trading Standards have access to the Landmark Registry (where certificates are lodged) to check that certificates have been produced.
